Thus, Nissan is going all in with its push toward electric vehicles. Remember, Nissan sells millions and millions of Altimas and light trucks in Asia. The Z is an anachronism. See the North America sales data: Nissan 370Z US car sales figures

It's not about edge or desire, but economics.

They will build what they think will sell and make the most profit off of. It's all about the beans. Companies build sports cars to get attention. Like the Viper. Dodge lost money on everyone sold.

Not only Nissan is way behind with their sports cars, the current line up of cars, SUVs and trucks is just mediocre if not worse. I can find at least 2 better alternatives easily for each model. The only one that is attractive to me is the Armada.

Well, that probably depends on what you are looking for, and features you prioritize.
I just bought a new Titan, and felt it was the best product/price out there (for me). But it too has some serious flaws. Nissan’s response? “That’s operating normally”. Not a great strategy to try and be taken seriously agaist the Fords, GMs and RAMs of the world.

Their commercial vehicles are pretty good, too. But they are notgoing to set the world on fire with those.
